A number of exciting projects are currently under way in each area featuring training in traditional skills and techniques, conservation and repair of historic vessels or the regeneration of disused docks and maritime services.

This page gives more information about the major projects in the Solent area, which form the core of the Shipshape Network in this region.

We will be launching a refreshed website in March.
Unfortunately this means that we won’t be able to make any updates to

update your details or apply for our flagship award before March,
please contact us at info@nationalhistoricships.org.uk or on 02083128558
